I shuffle and squirm in bed, worn out from another difficult day. I’ve tried everything, reading, watching TV listening to soft music, nothing works.
Suddenly, I her the wind pick up and blow against my screen. A spatter of rain taps quietly n my roof. Lightening and thunder rumble far away. For a moment, the rain falls in torrents, then settles into a peaceful song. Nature’s lullaby.
Before I know it, my reddened eyes start to blink. My mind goes blank, my heart slows to a quiet rhythm. The soft breathing of my cat blends with the gentleness of a warm summer rain.
Soon, I am asleep. The rain has does its trick. Nature has helped me get a much-needed rest. I wake up, a bit surprised that it is morning. Somehow, that is alright, I feel refreshed.
Thank you rain for your blessing.

Hi beebee. Your words describe that lulling into sleep so well. There are some nights I wish I could capture it so readily!! Jane

Rain really is one of the best sounds to fall asleep to. I love fall asleep to thunder, although my wife would vehemently disagree.

“Nature’s Lullaby” I love that phrase and the image it evokes. I’m glad to hear that you ended up getting a good night’s sleep after all.
